Valentin Durif
A musician, sound technician and computer programmer, Valentin Durif lives and works in Lyon, France. Informed by electronic and electroacoustic musics, his projects are part of the digital instrument-making movement. He develops and produces his own instruments or develops mechanical and digital devices in order to play his compositions. Infused with a common timeless patina, his creations are presented as performative concerts (Émincé d’oreilles) or installations (Cliquetis). His music is influenced by electronica, noise rock or indutrial music, with a more experimental sound art approach. Valentin Durif works under the name of GzzzT for part of his production and collaborates with the AADN Association in Lyon (arts and digital cultures) for which he has developed interactive systems (Les Hommes Debouts).
